wheel J secured to or formed on a pulley J, adapted to be driven by the belt lf, the rotary motion of the pulley J being transmitted by the gear wheels J and E to the shaft B and the drum or cylinder C, to rotate the latter in a reverse direction. The pulley J is inounted to turn loosely on the hub K of a beltshifter pulley K, mounted to rotate loosely on the shaft G, and arranged intermediate the driving pulleys H and J. rlhe belt l is at all times in engagement with the beltshifter pulley K, that is, the rbelt is of a width exceeding the width of the rims of the pulleys H and J, so that when the belt l is on either of the pulleys H and J it also lextends onto the belt-shifter pulley is driven by the belt l running.

The belt I controls a shifting device for automatically shifting the belt from the pulley H across the pulley K onto the pulley J, and from the pulley J across the pulley K back onto the pulley H. For the urpose mentioned the hub K of the pulley K) is pro* vided with a gear wheel L in mesh with a gear wheel L', secured on a shaft L2, journaled on the bracket F and carrying a worm N in mesh with a wormy Wheel N having its shaft N2 journaled in a bearing arranged on the bracket F.

The worm Wheel N is provided with a crank pin N3 extending into the slots O of a link O, pivotally connected at O2 with up wardly extending levers l? fulcrumed at F on the bracket F. Secured to the upper ends of the levers F is the transversely-extending arm P2, provided with a row of apertures P3, either of which is adapted to be engaged by a bolt Q held on a belt shifter Q, engaging the driving belt I (see Figs. 3 and 4). By the arrangement described the belt shifter Q may be readily set to any angle at which the driving belt l may be placed.

The link O is provided with a handle O3 adapted to be taken hold of by the operator whenever it is desired to disconnect the link O from the wrist pin N3, the link O being for this purpose provided with an opening O4 leading to the slot O at the inner end thereof, asfplainly shown in Fig. 5. rl`hus when the operator bears down on the handle O3 at the time the wrist pin N3 is at the rear end of the slot O', then the wrist pin passes out of the opening O4, thus disconnecting the link O DE WITT O. MAKEAN, States, and a resident of Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, rhave invented a new and Improved Mechanical Movement, of which Be itjknown that l,

scription. ,f y,

The object yof the invention is to provide a mechanical movement for converting continuousk rotary motion in one ward rotary movement, thus rendering the machines, churns and other machines.

rl`hey invention consists yof novel vfeatures K, whereby the latter as long as the latter is whichwill v,be more fully described herein after and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar `'characters of :reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

.. Figure l is a side elevation of the improvevation of the same, on' the line 2-2 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 3 is' an end elevation of the same; Fig. 4 elevationv of the link for actuating the shifter lever.l I f As illustrated inthe drawings, the me- A, in which'is journaled a shaft B, carrylng the drum or cylinder O, tobe rotated alternately in opposite On the shaft are secured the gear wheels with an intermediate 'gear wheel'D, jourheld on a bracket F atgear wheel D is in D3, secured on a On: the shaft G is secured the drivingr pulley H, adapted, to be yrotated in one direction by a belt l, as hereinafter'more fully described., the rotary motion of the pulley being transmitted by the shaft G and y D and D to the shaft B and the cylinderor drum O, to rotate the latter 1in onedirection. Y

y Thegearwheel E is in mesh with a gear der C.

vof revolutions to "or cylinder C, before the reverse movement from the wrist pin N 3. rlhe link O can then be swung downward into engagement with a fork R., held on the bracket F, to support the link O in position while disengaged.

The operation is as follows: When the several parts are in the position illustrated in the drawings, then the running belt I is in engagement with the driving pulley H and the belt-shifter pulley K, so that both are rotated in the same direction. N ow the rotation of the pulley H is transmitted tothe shaft B and the drum or cylinder C, as previously described, to rotate the drum C in one direction. The rotation of the pulley K causes the gear wheels L and L to rotate the worm N and the worm wheel N so that the latter imparts a swinging motion to the levers P by means of the link O and wrist pin N 3, at the time the wrist pin N 3 reaches the outer end of the slot O. Now when this takes place and the levers I) are swung in the direction of the arrow a, then the belt shifter moves the belt I from the pulley H, across the pulley K and finally onto the pulley J, so that the rotary motion of the pulley H ceases and consequently that of the drum or 'cylin- Now as soon as the belt I reaches the pulley J, the latter is rotated and with it the pulley as previously explained, so that the drum or cylinder C is now rotated in a reverse direction owing to the driving of the pulley J and the transmission of the lpower by way of Vthe gear wheels J and E to the shaft B. The pulley -J is driven until the worm wheel N has completed about a quarter revolution and the wrist pin N 3 has traveled back in the slot O to the inner end thereof, andwhen this takes place, the link O is`pus`hed to the right, thus imparting a return 'swinging motion to the lever l?, whereby the belt I is shifted from the pulley J across the lpulley K back onto the pulley H. y N ow when the `belt I leaves the pulley J, the rotary motion of 'the said pulley and the-drum orcylinder Cceases, and when the belt I reaches the pulley Hit rotates the latter, so that the drum or cylinder C is again driven in the opposite direction. F rom the `seen that the pulley K is at all times driven by the ruiming belt I, while the pulleys H and J rotate alternately with the shifter pulley K for turning the shaft B and the drum or cylinder C alternately in a forward and reverse direction. It will further be noticed that by the wrist pin N 3 engaging the slot O, vthe belt I remains sufficiently long on either lpulley H or J, to give the requisite number the shaft B and the drum takes place. IVhen it is desired to stop the machine, lthe operator bears down on the handle O3 at the time the belt I is `Wholly on the indermediate pulley K and out of engagement with either of the pulleys .H or J, so that the link C) becomes disconnected shifting shaft, a driving pulley secured vbelt-*shifter pulley mounted to rotate loosely vsaid belt-shifter pulley,

.pulley With the .part -to Vbe shifting device for the said belt Vand having y'a foregoing it will be `belt and a link -pulley with the part to from the wrist pin N 3, and the rotary motion of the shaft B and the drum or cylinder C soon comes to a standstill. rl`he pulley K and the gear wheels L, L, Worm N and worm wheel N keep on running unless the traveling motion of the belt I is stopped.

he mechanical movement shown and described is simple and durable in construction, very effective in operation, and not liable easily to get out of order.
